Help Fernando with a HVAC technician's skills: a failed boiler with no heating

Fernando has a failed boiler with no heating, and can't afford a licensed HVAC technician to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In August an inspector told me that my home has a failed boiler with no heating. It's a safety risk for me and my two small children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $630 are beyond us. I'm looking for a licensed HVAC technician who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $50. The job should take about four hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request. If you're a HVAC technician and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

    so sorry you're going through this, Fernando. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

        You're not alone, Fernando. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          praying for you, Fernando. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

            Good luck. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

              Hope it all works out, Fernando. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Mendoza

                You're not alone, Fernando. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!

                    Wishing you peace, Fernando. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Beersheba.

                      Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kyiv
